Ecotin, a novel serine protease inhibitor isolated from Escherichia coli, has been crystallized using polyethylene glycol 1500 as the precipitating agent. The crystals belong to the orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit cell parameters of a = 39.22 A, b = 84.86 A, and c = 98.74 A. The asymmetric unit contains one dimeric molecule of ecotin, with a crystal volume per protein mass (Vm) of 2.55 A3/Da and a solvent content of 51.8% by volume. The crystals diffract to at least 2.2 A using a conventional X-ray source, and X-ray data have been collected to 2.7 A Bragg spacing from a native crystal.

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli

D014961 X-Ray Diffraction The scattering of x-rays by matter, especially crystals, with accompanying variation in intensity due to interference effects. Analysis of the crystal structure of materials is performed by passing x-rays through them and registering the diffraction image of the rays (CRYSTALLOGRAPHY, X-RAY).
